A line consists of any number of switches. Value switches are +of the form: "name=value". Boolean switches are of the form: "name" or +"noname". +.PP +Using these switches, you can define a username, a group, and a tty line. +These descriptions can contain wildcard characters (regular expressions). +You can also define an idle time, a grace period and a few other options. +When reading the configuration file, the program creates a record for each +configuration line. A value is assigned to each variable in the record +regardless of whether or not you specify one explicitly. Values for +missing variables are provided by defaults which are compiled in and can +be modified from the command line. +.PP +If no entries are found matching a given process, that process will be +spared from an untimely demise. Therefore, it is a good idea to always +have a "cleanup" line at the end of the configuration file to catch +anything that might have been missed by the more explicit definitions. +Since the default name, group, and line are all ".+", a simple line like: + + idle=30 + +will do. Actually, any one switch can be specified on the line and all the +others will get the default values. +.PP +If no configuration file is found, the program will create a single +entry which has all values set from the defaults. This entry will match +any process on any port (name=.+ line=.+ group=.+). Therefore, the default +action is to kill all processes. +.SH ENTRIES +.TP +.B name= +A regular expression specifying which username(s) to match. +.TP +.B group= +A regular expression specifying which group(s) to match. +.TP +.B line= +A regular expression specifying which tty line(s) to match. +Omit the "/dev/" part of the special name. +.TP +.B idle= +An integer specifying the number of \-\-minutes\-\- of idle +(or connect) time to allow before beginning automatic logoff. +An idle time of 0 exempts the process from automatic logoff. +.TP +.B grace= +An integer specifying the number of \-\-seconds\-\- from the initial +warning to killing the process. +.TP +.B ban= +An integer specifying the number of \-\-minutes\-\- from killing the process +to the moment, the user may login again. (after exceeding his session). + +.TP +.B hard +A boolean value indicating total connect time will be +considered rather than idle time. +.TP +.B mail +A boolean value indicating that mail will be sent to the +user explaining that he was killed. +.TP +.B clear +A boolean value indicating that the screen will be cleared +before a warning message is sent. +.TP +.B warn +A boolean value indicating that a warning message will be +sent at the beginning of the "grace" period. +.TP +.B log +A boolean value indicating that activities will be logged +to the logfile (if it exists). + +.SH FURTHER ENTRIES +.PP +There is another group of entries, which allows one to set some +general options. Each of them takes a whole line. +Don't mix them with the other entries from before. +.TP +.B nolostkill +A boolean value indicating whether lost processes should be killed. +If there is a process with uid between 500 and 60000 and the owner +is not logged in, it is assumed as lost and will be killed. + +.TP +.B ps=command +on some strange or old systems the ps-command has different parameters. +This makes it possible to set a completely different command.
